Privacy Policy

StandbyArt turns your television into an ambient art gallery. It is built to know as little about you as possible.

No accounts, no personal data

StandbyArt has no sign-up, no sign-in, and collects no personal information — no name, no email address, no location, no advertising identifiers. Your favorites and ratings are stored only on your own device.

Anonymous rating signals

When you thumb a piece up or down, or favorite it, the app sends a single anonymous event to our server: the action, the artwork, and the app platform (Apple TV, Google TV, or Roku). These events contain no user or device identifier of any kind and cannot be connected to you. We use them solely to understand which artworks people love, so the shared collection gets better.

Standard server logs

Our infrastructure runs on Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses transiently as part of operating any web service (routing, caching, and abuse prevention). We do not store, profile, or analyze them.

No tracking

No analytics SDKs, no advertising, no cookies, no cross-site tracking — on this website or in the apps.

The art

Every artwork is in the public domain (CC0 or equivalent), courtesy of the open-access programs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, and Wikimedia Commons.
